The Admiral of Hogwarts

Perhaps because he learned of Voldemort's return, Moody's classes had noticeably accelerated and become more demanding recently.

The most direct example was the greatly increased intensity of practical exercises. Everyone seemed exhausted after each class, and sometimes people even left with injuries.

During these practical exercises, Moody now most often called Hugo and Veneto to spar with him. Hugo and Veneto would suppress their power to just below Moody's level to learn from his experience.

Naturally, Moody also encouraged them to become Aurors after graduation. He wasn't offended by their refusals, but earnestly invited Hugo and Veneto to visit his office and ask questions whenever they didn't have classes.

Moody was indeed a man who had fought for justice his entire life, which was worthy of respect. However, becoming an Auror was out of the question for Hugo, as he had many more important things to do.

But this didn't mean Hugo would reject Moody's kindness. At least for Hugo, a Muggle-born wizard, Moody, an old wizard who had dedicated his life to the Auror department, had a wealth of experience to learn from.

Especially regarding the current state of the British wizarding world, the old wizard possessed much information that even the ship girls didn't have.

From this information, Hugo and the others also discovered that the pure-blood wizards' control over the entire British wizarding world was far greater than their previous analysis had indicated.

This situation was related to the first Dark Lord, Grindelwald. Back then, the flames of war had spread throughout Europe and the Americas, so many pure-blood wizards had fled to Britain, considered the safest place.

Therefore, after the war ended, compared to the weakened European continent and Americas, the pure-blood faction in the British wizarding world not only didn't decrease but greatly increased.

The result of this large-scale power shift was that when the war ended and other places were in recession, the prosperity of the British wizarding world instead rose against the trend for many years, until Voldemort appeared.

However, this prosperity came at the cost of extracting power from the European and American magical communities and large-scale internal consolidation within the British magical community. This is why, even though Voldemort had been dead for over a decade, the British wizarding world was still recovering so slowly.

One day, Hugo and Veneto had just left Moody's office after hearing about how he had solved a case involving a conflict between three pure-blood families when they suddenly ran into Harry and his friends in the hallway.

However, unlike usual, Harry looked to be in very bad shape, as if he might collapse at any moment. Ginny and Ron were supporting him while constantly checking on his condition.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Veneto asked with concern. "I thought Harry was supposed to be in Divination class. Why did I see you coming from the Gryffindor tower?"

"Harry suddenly fainted in class," Ron said to Veneto. "So, I was taking him back to the dormitory to rest, but my sister insists we should go find Dumbledore now."

"Headmaster Dumbledore isn't here right now," Hugo said at this moment. "We just came from Professor Moody's office. He told me that the Headmaster has been very busy recently. For example, the Headmaster left the school early this morning."

"Okay, I told you I'm fine," Harry, who was being supported between them, seemed to have woken up and said to his two friends, "The Headmaster is very busy right now. I really don't think it's necessary to trouble him."

"Can you tell us what happened?" Hugo asked, puzzled. "I don't think your body looks that bad. How could you suddenly faint?"

"Harry fell asleep in Divination class this afternoon, and then he woke up screaming, clutching the scar on his head! Professor Trelawney said it was an omen!" Ginny suddenly said before Harry could say anything.

"It was just a dream," Harry immediately emphasized after Ginny said that. After all, being frightened into screaming by a dream was a bit embarrassing. On the other hand, the dream was indeed a bit strange, and he didn't want Ginny and everyone else to worry about him.

"A dream?" Hugo frowned. "Harry, this matter isn't as simple as you think. That dream could very well represent some very, very important information."

Saying this, Hugo looked around and then gestured for Harry and the others to go into an empty classroom next door, find seats, and then began to talk about some of the things he had discovered before.

"I heard from the Headmaster that the person who resurrected used your blood, right?" After everyone had found a place to sit down, Hugo stared at Harry's face and asked softly.

"Yes, the other party took a little bit of blood from me," Harry immediately said seriously after hearing Hugo's question. "But what does that have to do with my dream?"

"Don't you know that blood has a special meaning in the wizarding world?" Hermione suddenly said at this time. "If the other party used your blood when resurrecting, then that connection will be very close."

"Yes, that's right." Seeing Harry turn to look at her in surprise, Hugo also nodded seriously and said, "Can you tell us what you dreamed about?"

"Okay." After seeing everyone turn to look at him, "I was in Divination class this afternoon, but, uh – I fell asleep." He was a little embarrassed to say this.

"Understandable." Hugo exchanged a glance with his sister and nodded. "As far as I know, the number of people who sleep in Divination class is second only to Professor Binns' History of Magic."

"Well, after falling asleep, I had a dream," Harry said, "I think I dreamed of Voldemort. I heard his voice, the same as when he resurrected that day. There was also a three-headed snake..."

"They were killing in a room full of things, and several people fell to the ground. I was watching from the side, but I couldn't do anything."

"Finally, that snake opened its big mouth and pounced on a wizard who was lying on the ground, looking up at the sky. My scar started to hurt, and it hurt more and more until it woke me up."

"That's it?" Hugo waited a few seconds after Harry finished speaking, and then asked after seeing that he didn't continue. "Can you tell us where your perspective was at that time? Was it on Voldemort?"

"Um – my perspective switched between two points at that time," Harry said after thinking for a moment. "Half the time it was on Voldemort, and the other half should have been on that big snake."

"A big snake? It seems that even without Nagini, Voldemort still created a new Horcrux." Hearing Harry say that half the time his perspective was on that big snake, Hugo quickly spoke to Enterprise and the others, who weren't there, through the Admiral Network.

"That's normal. After that guy resurrected, he would definitely quickly replenish his Horcruxes," Enterprise said. "It's just not very clear how he managed to tame such a huge Runespoor in such a short period of time."

"That's right, even with Parseltongue, being able to control a mature Runespoor that has lived for hundreds of years in a short period of time and use it as a Horcrux vessel is a bit too exaggerated," Salem said. "There should be something we don't know about here."
